National Trust Refuses to Drop Trump Ballroom Lawsuit Despite DOJ Request
Despite a recent shooting incident and a request from the Department of Justice to withdraw their complaint, preservationists are continuing their lawsuit against President Trump’s planned White House ballroom. The National Trust for Historic Preservation argues that the Constitution and federal statutes require congressional authorization for such construction, which has not been granted. While a federal appeals court has permitted the project to proceed, the legal challenge remains active as the Trust maintains the core issues of federal approval have not been altered by recent events.
